ArmyCommander GittisVologda

Iam entirely in sympathy with your plan to release
prisoners of war, but only a few at a time and exclusively those
who have really been won over by our propaganda. Telegraph
me at once, if necessary in code, how many prisoners you
have, of what nationality, and how many of them have been
propagandised.

LeninChairman, Council of People’s Commissars
